As long as they don't interfere with, say, Bazzite, all's good.

I heard somewhere Microsoft is making a gaming UI for Windows 11 for devices like the Steam Deck, but dunno if there's any progress there.

To be honest, social media including Mastodon is pretty awful for right-on-the-second emergency notifications but good for any extended information that wouldn't fit in those. Japan does have things in place for before then, similarly to America, but depending on the system you could link to that link just fine.

Does that go through regular EAS? Wondering.

FWIW, Japan does have emergency alerts on iOS and Android, same thing as the Netherlands and the UK.

If you like having more finetuned control, Gentoo is pretty neat.

Go tell Fedora that then lol. They want it gone to the point where Nate is telling users who want X to stay away on that post. Xwayland I believe will still be around though.

Hey, don't sweat it. You gotta use what's right for you and that's all that matters. Talking from a dual-booter's perspective, here.

AFAIK, Fedora is the only distro that's getting rid of X11 support, the other distros are still packaging it AFAIK.

There's two projects aimed at carrying on Unity in the modern era.

Unity7/Unityd essentially continues support for Unity as it was shipped in Ubuntu and focuses more on that desktop experience, and Lomiri continues what would've been Unity 8 and focuses more on a consistent UX across mobile and desktop.

I feel like I'm a chronic distro-hopper sometimes, but no matter how many times I try, I just can't settle into OpenSUSE for whatever reason. The OBS feels a bit more of a wild west than the AUR.

I don't think PeerTube would work here, unless you mean a bot that posts PeerTube stuff from certain channels every so often.

There is a bot around here that converts YouTube links to Piped ones.

Pleroma should work, but I'd also raise an issue with GoToSocial about the specific issues you're facing as well.

Honestly, even if I agree in principle, the fediverse has exhausted any sympathy from me given that there's consistent toxicity towards people who don't "get it", people who aren't open-source tech nerds or fediverse evangelists. There's this constant smugness that the fediverse and its community is better than everything else and it has no problems or the problems that do exist is how the fediverse should work. No, not everyone is like that, but the ones that are make the fediverse experience that much more painful and I'd rather just use Bluesky, even though it's janky and much more limited in features.

Not even talking about Threads, either. I think this issue is quite prevalent on Lemmy but I remember Technology Connections having this issue on the Mastodon side to the point where he got angry too.
